Thread: 1969 Buick GS vs. Buick Skylark Rear Quarter Panels--Difference??

    1969 Buick GS vs. Buick Skylark Rear Quarter Panels--Difference??

    HELP! We are restoring a 1969 Buick GS 400 Convertible. We purchased the aftermarket rear quarter panels from Sherman. Our restorer started to work on getting them lined up and the lines are different. So, are the rear quarter panels on a 1969 Buick Skylark different than a 1969 Buick GS 400?? Any suggestions?? Thoughts?? Comments?? What should we do?? Anyone know of anyone who might have a really nice pair of rear quarter panels for this car if we cannot use the aftermarkets? jrjensen@copper.net.

    Other then badging or trim, there is no difference in quarters between the GS and Skylark (in any year). The convertible quarters were different then the other two door quarters. Maybe they sent you the convertible quarter or they just did not make it correctly.

    THANK YOU-Believe it is a fits-all reproduction quarter panel.

    Lined it up yesterday. It fits all below, high on top. Will be cutting to current form on top. Believe it was machined & cut as a fits-all. Thanks.

    The doors and quarter panels are different in the convertible and the coupe? Can you tell me more? How is it different? Are the lines more accentuated in the coupe? Thanks

    As far as I know, no one is reproducing the 69 convertible quarters, what you probably have is a hardtop quarter.
